Description

A close photograph of a horizontal band of carved figures. Tall figures in long, pleated robes stand side by side, some with headdresses and raised arms, with smaller figures between them and a rosette-like motif in the upper centre. The carved forms show as raised relief against a dark, grainy ground.
